Two days later, the group finally arrived in Lai'an County, Chuzhou.

Lai'an County is not a big place, although it is named after the county, but there are no strong walls and moats like some big counties, only a circle of half-high earthen walls built by each family under the leadership of the county magistrate more than ten years ago.

Shen Tianshu raised his hand and gently pushed the car window, and saw the people entering and exiting from the so-called "city gate" in twos and threes, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

This "city gate" Shen Tianshu is very familiar with, she has never been a lady who does not leave the gate in her previous life, and she spends more than half of her time running around every year, and every time she enters and exits from here.

This kind of virtual "city wall" can basically be climbed and climbed over by an adult man.

This may also be one of the reasons why the Jiang family was inexplicably poisoned.

Fan Yu didn't take the carriage for some reason today, and followed Shen Tianshu's car on a horse.

Seeing Shen Tianshu open the window, he said: "Tong Niangzi, we have already come to Anxian County, I have already sent someone to arrange the accommodation in advance, and it is not too early today, let's settle down first, and go to Jiang's house tomorrow to worship, the incense, candles, and paper money used for worship have already been bought, as for the matter of entering Jiang's mansion, I still need to contact it." ”

"There's Lao Fan Gongzi." Shen Tianshu closed the window, took a deep breath, and involuntarily clenched his fists again.

Seeing this, Minghui hurriedly said: "Girl, the injury in the palm of your hand is not good yet, don't hurt it again!" ”

The day before yesterday, she clenched her fists too tightly and didn't know that her nails were deeply cut into her palms, and when she went back to the room to wash her hands, she found that her palms had already been bloodstained by herself.

At this time, after listening to Minghui's words, Shen Tianshu tried his best to relax and leaned on the pillow, spreading his hands and putting them aside.

Minghui took the opportunity to put some medicine on her palm, and said in a low voice: "The slave knows that the girl is uncomfortable, but she can't ignore her own body. ”

Shen Tianshu was a little distraught, and said after a long time: "You go out to buy some things for me in a while." ”

Lai'an County is a small place, there is only one inn, the conditions are not very good, and there are usually no guests.

And the reason why the inn has been open and has not closed is also related to the Jiang family, after all, most of the guests in the inn are people who have received the favor of the Jiang family and come to worship.

Fan Yuru simply asked someone to rent a three-entry house, which was much more spacious and comfortable than living in an inn.

Shen Tianshu was arranged to live in the main room of the second entrance, and after entering the house, she first wrote a list and asked Minghui to go shopping according to the list.

Minghui took it and took a look, only to see that the list said, mung bean cake and crab shell yellow baked cake from Dongsizhai, mutton roasted wheat from Sun's Sheep Restaurant, milk steamed bun from Laocheng Cake Shop, and pork knuckle from Wang's second sister-in-law's braised meat shop...... It's all food, and even the store has to be designated.

But looking at Shen Tianshu's mood in the past few days, it doesn't look like he suddenly wants to eat and drink.

Did you want to buy it for Fan Gongzi and his entourage?

"Girl, is this ......" Minghui asked cautiously.

"Go and buy a copy of everything and come back, and take it with you tomorrow."

"Yes, slave and maid will go." When Minghui heard that it was for the upper offering, she was glad that she didn't say the guess in her heart just now, and was busy going out to buy it with the silver.

Although several shops are on different streets, but fortunately, Lai'an County is not big, Minghui found a few people to ask for directions, and quickly bought all the things.

When I came back, I passed by Jiang's house, and although the door was closed, Minghui still looked at it curiously.

Jiang Mansion can be said to be the largest house in Lai'an County, and the courtyard wall can't be seen at a glance.

But when she thought of the bloody case three years ago, Minghui couldn't help but shudder, feeling that there seemed to be a trace of blood in the air.

Without looking back, she quickened her pace and returned to her lodgings.

Early the next morning, Fan Yuru led someone to escort Shen Tianshu out of the city and go to the Jiang family's grave to pay respects.

Fan Yuru was startled when she saw Shen Tianshu, she never expected that she was actually wearing a filial piety dress.

Shen Tianshu was in no mood to explain, and got into the carriage silently.

Fan Yuru didn't ask much when he saw this, and waved his hand to go.

Walking out of the city to the south, the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family is halfway up a mountain in the south.

The Jiang family was a big local family in the past, and over the years, the ancestral tomb has been expanded again and again.

Shen Tianshu still remembers that in his previous life, every time the Chinese New Year came, his grandfather would take the whole family to the ancestral tomb to worship the ancestors, and it would take most of the day each time.

Now there are more than a dozen tombs on the mountainside, but there is no need to worry about running out of space in the future, because the Jiang family will no longer have descendants......

The carriage stopped on a flat ground halfway up the mountain, which was still some distance away from the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family, but the carriage in front of it couldn't pass, so it had to walk over by itself.

After Shen Tianshu got out of the car, he found that the Jiang family's ancestral tomb was now very different from when he could still come to worship his ancestors in his previous life.

The mountain road has not only been restored, but also paved with gravel.

The ancestral tomb of the Jiang family was directly encircled, and a low wall was built, and it did not look like the overgrown weeds she imagined at all.

Standing at the entrance of the cemetery, Shen Tianshu took a deep breath before stepping in.

In his previous life, he had to come to worship every year, so Shen Tianshu was very familiar with this place, and after entering, he found more than a dozen new tombs at a glance.

The stone tablets stand with the names of her grandfather, parents, brother and sister-in-law, and even herself......

Shen Tianshu only felt that his heart was numb with pain, and he walked to his grandfather's grave first with heavy steps.

She knelt in front of the grave, stretched out her hand to gently brush the dust off the stone tablet, looked at the word Jiang Wei on it, her heart ached, tears rolled down like beads with broken threads, but her throat was choked, and she didn't even dare to call out her grandfather.

Shen Tianshu cried heartbreakingly in front of the grave, but he didn't make a sound at all, but it was even more worrying. Even the guards waiting outside the cemetery felt unbearable and turned away to look no more.

Fan Yuru did not follow into the garden, and stood at the entrance of the cemetery, but his eyes never left Shen Tianshu.

watched her wipe the tombstones with her own hands, and put the things that Cha Minghui bought yesterday in front of the grave.

My grandfather's favorite crab shell yellow baked cake, my father's favorite mutton roasted wheat, my mother's favorite mung bean cake, my eldest brother's second sister-in-law's pork knuckle, and my sister-in-law's milk steamed buns that I sent someone to buy every once in a while......

In the end, Shen Tianshu knelt in front of the tombs, burning incense, candles, and paper money.

Full of words and remembrance, none of them can be pronounced in the mouth, and can only be recited silently in the bottom of the heart.

Although I don't know why I came back from the dead, maybe this is God's arrangement, so that I can find out the truth of the year, so that my family can die blindly.

No matter who the other person is, I will never give up......

It took more than half an hour to burn all the incense, candles, and paper money, and Shen Tianshu's legs were already unconscious.

Minghui stepped forward to help her up, her body shook, and she fainted directly in Minghui's arms.

"Girl—"

"Shen-Tong Lady-"
